Check A Trade
I saw an advert on TV the other day about Check a Trade. This is a service where the client can have some feed back on builders from previous clients as to standards and ethics about working practices. I thought I would go on the website and have a look. I will go into depth on another occasion. The one thing I am very happy about is that an old friend has come to light. Kevin and I used to work together many years ago with a company called Scouted Out. He and I worked on trying to give people genuine help in finding good people and trying to warn them away from rogue builders. I am so pleased that he seems to have lost none of his passion on this subject matter and is still operating the same kind of requirements for builders. The testimony that we are still bleating about the same issues is, I believe, a sign of how there are good guys out there, we just need to find them and communicate about them. I am hoping to contact Kevin this week and discuss how we may be able to go on from here. It seems to me that we do need the synergy of the free market where people make choices as to how they spend their money but with a back up from trading standards and councils to enforce those who do not choose to conduct themselves by fair business methods.
Good luck Kevin and the team. I will be sure to be adding comments and linking in with their ethos.
